Liberating Kosovo: Coercive Diplomacy and U.S. Intervention was published by MIT Press and Harvard’s Kennedy School (May 2012). Liberating Kosovo not only considers diplomatic efforts, which culminated in NATO’s 1999 intervention; it also evaluates the UN’s role and state-building activities undertaken in Kosovo that are applicable to other post-conflict countries like Iraq, Libya, and Syria. Intervention criteria are also proposed. Martti Ahtisaari, the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Presidential Envoy Frank Wisner, Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, and Special Representative of the Secretary General Soren Jessen-Petersen endorsed the book.
